Kayseri Silk Rug, Turkish, Early 20th Century

Kayseri Silk Rug, Turkish, Early C20th This stunning rug is hand knotted in luxuriously soft silk warp and weft and has a madder (red) ground with central medallion of a close floral design within multiple floral borders.

Being silk, the knots are extremely fine and the rug would have taken many months to make.
